My '96 Odyssey (the four door model built on the Accord platform) was built
in Japan. It had all sorts of squeaks and rattles. My '00 TL (Ohio built)
has clearly worse fit and finish than the Japanese Odyssey, but about the
same collection of rattles and squeaks. I think it must be a Honda
trademark wherever they're made.
